For example, the NAS_Public folder in Thecus NAS are, by default, set without restrictive access permissions. Users can therefore right-click on this folder (using Windows Explorer) and select "Map Network Drive". They can then choose a drive letter for this new network drive and reconnect to it.

If users later wish to un-map this folder, they would simply need to right-click on this drive letter and choose "Disconnect".
